Masala Egg Toast

Growing up in an entirely vegetarian state of Gujarat where even eggs were considered ‘non-veg’ and eggless cakes abound, egg dishes were not the norm. French toast may be well-known here and in France, of course but it’s almost unheard of in most of Asia or at least it was in the era that I was growing up. However, toast dipped in a savory egg batter with spices and fried in ghee was a popular breakfast in our family circle. My favorite was this version with a seasoned cheese mixture sandwiched in the middle of 2 slices. Almost like grilled cheese colliding with a French toast but leaving the sugar in its wake. It’s a guaranteed crowd pleaser and is quick to make from ingredients easy to find in your refrigerator.
